Beaver seaplane simply landed on a
convenient lake and taxied the re-
maining 23 miles to his destination.
There was one problem that
had the force momentarily
stumped: how to cope with the
curiosity of natives in remote
settlements who rushed out to
examine every visiting police
plane, and poked inquiring
fingers through the fragile, fabric-
covered tail surface. A warning
was prepared by syllabic language
and displayed on the tails. Its
eloquently simple message: “No
Push !”

Won't Replace Dog Team Patrols

The Eskimos and Indians are im-
pressed with the white man’s noisy
thunderbird, but theyre not con-
vinced—nor are ranking R.C.M.P.
officers—that it is ready to replace
that hardy northern institution, the
dog team patrol.

Says Assistant Commissioner
C. E. Rivett-Carnac: “In no way
will the use of aircraft replace the
dog team and the personal con-
tact engendered through use of
the latter means of transportation
with the Indians, Eskimos and
trapping community in general.
But it has proved its great value
in the case of emergencies when
speed is an essential to cover
great distances in the shortest
possible period of time.”

The airplane, however, has already
done much to improve conditions
along the sled trails. It has laid in
caches of food and wood, and it has
added eges and vegetables to the
hitherto austere diets of hinterland

Orville Andrews told Chicago
police how they would be able to
identify his missing car; a 1949 Chey-
rolet convertible body, mounted on a
1939 Studebaker chassis, with a 1949
Kaiser front bumper, a 1949 Oldsmo-
bile rear bumper, a 1949 Chevrolet
grille and a 1950 Studebaker engine.

Getting out of an automobile into
traffic is inviting death or injury. Even
the most alert driver can not be ready
for fellow drivers and riders who leap
into his path from parked cars. It is
a particular temptation for drivers to

get out of the car the “easy” way,
opening the door by the driver’s seat
and stepping into traffic, rather than
sliding across the seat and leaving by
the door adjacent to the sidewalk. The
easy way is the wrong way, warns the
American Automobile Association. Al-
ways alight from a car on the curb side.
